Just finished installing the amber lighting. I don't have any night pics yet, but I took one with the front end in the garage.

Ford Ranger First mod - Amber DRL & grill lights 20260917_193436


The install was fairly easy, I didn't remove the wheels or fender liners and I didn't use any fancy tools, no adjustible snake drivers. All I did was turn the wheels towards the engine. I then removed all the hardware connecting the outer liner to the inner liner and the fender flares. I ended up pushing the outer liner under the inner liner, didn't have to fold it back. It gave me enough room to get to the modules. I removed the horn on the passenger side, but left it in on the driver side. I also removed the two bolts holding the fenders and pulled it out and put a small screwdriver in the bolt hole to hold the fender out.

I didn't have to break the line up tabs when installing the boards, but I did have to file the driver side board hole a lil since it didn't line up. Here's a picture showing how it didn't line up.

I didn't snap a picture of the driver side, but the outer liner did not slide in as much since it's a bit different than the passenger side, it slid a bit and then i had to lift the liner up a bit to get my hand in there.

Thanks, I love the new look with the amber.

Haha, the tread is fine. They're borderline street tires, not much tread to them. They don't have many km on them. Pretty new.

Looks good! I did mine a few weeks ago. This week I added a 30" behind the grill light bar.

Thank you. I did the side vents a month ago.
Nice, how do they look in person? How's the install, easy to do a clean install? Do you have it wired to the battery or an aux switch?

It looks better in person without the camera adding the extra glow. It was surprisingly easy to install behind the grill, took me about an hour, no drilling or cutting needed. It's dual light with the Amber being a DRL then there's a white high beam as well I use for driving on the beach at night. I have the Amber since it's low amps installed to aux 1 and the white high beam to aux 2. Install was straight forward and easy to follow. The OEM putco light bar on the back was by far the worst install, I probably would not have tackled that one if I knew then what I knew now lol.

The fender lights are dual lights? Or you talking about the three grill lights? I have my grill lights connected to aux 1 and 2.

Sorry, I was talking about the light bar. The grill lights and fender lights I have tapped into the side marker lights using a wire harness from F150LED so they'll function together. Original I had them hooked to aux 1. I bought the grill lights from F150 leds with the thought if I didn't like them I would order from the other company but I was to inpatient lol. The F150Leds work great for me and look good. The vent lights are not a difficult installation at all. Used a trim tool to pop out the fender vent, then there's 1 plastic weld on the back that I used a razer knife to remove the plastic weld, spread the vent plate with another trim tool and slide the flat LED light in. Removed a couple of wheel well scrivets to access the side market light and used a wire harness so I didn't have to tap the wires. Sounds like more than what it is but it was simple. I'm a handy guy not in any way a mechanic.

Oh nice, so it taps into the side markers, I like keeping the wires out of the engine bay.
